We’re fishless cycling right now, so just researching different fish, etc. for tank
ty for your answer. She wants one of each (dwarf frog, algae shrimp, glo fish, white cloud) in the 6 gal tank. Might this combo work?

D/d has 6 gal freshwater tank. Wants a dwarf frog, algae shrimp, glo-fish, white cloud-does that sound good?
Beginner freshwater 10 gal stocking ideas- I need feedback!?
I’ve been reading a bunch of threads about 10 gal stocking ideas for beginners. I’m trying to decide what fish to get, and I’m on a budget!
I am not a complete beginner. I’ve done a lot of research and I’m getting into the swing of tank keeping. I still don’t have it completely down pat, though.
I have a heater for the tank.
What do you guys think? I need easy, forgiving fishies that would look beautiful.
- 5 White cloud minnows, maybe an additional tank mate of a diff species?
- 5 male guppies, an additional tank mate? Are guppies actually hardy enough for a beginner tank? They appear a little weak to me.
- 1 betta (rather not)
- 1 dwarf gourami, an additional tank mate that he wouldn’t murder?
- 5 cherry red shrimp? I have absolutely no algae in my tank though. All the plants are artificial. The shrimp wouldn’t have any yummy algae to eat 
Could I possibly transfer algae from a friend’s tank into mine?
I really like shrimps!
- 5 Danios
- 5 rasboras
-6 neon tetras? I heard their fragile though. Some say they’re hardy, some say they’re not due to inbreeding. What ARE they?
Any other fish ideas? I’ve only had experience with bettas so far (in bowls and in tanks).
Tell me your experiences!
Thanks a bunch!
Aren’t dwarf gouramis related to bettas? I thought they were on the violent side and would benefit from not having many tank mates.
Guppies and a dwarf gourami could work? That’d be awesome.
By the way, all your answers are very helpful 
Wow, do much feedback! Thanks peeps.
Dave, I’m liking the idea of danios. And those glofish are spanking awesome.
I’m hesitant to use neons… some people say they’re hardy, some people say they’re sensitive.
White clouds seem hardy. Yeah?
Would a dwarf gourami work with WCMM and danios? or would I have to deal with a fishy murderer?

why is my established – 10 gal freshwater tank cloudy?
I have an established 10 gallon tank. I’ve had it about a year.
Lately, like the past week, the water seems to be more cloudy than usual. I did a 3 gal change this am and tonight the nitrate/nitrite and other things are all in range.
The only thing different is that w/i the last month I noticed a sudden appearance of a bunch of baby malaysian trumpet snails.
Could that be why the water is cloudy?
Also, I’ve lost about 3 fish over the last 3 months. I suspected ich or velvet and treated with that teatree oil fish med.
Currently I have two zebras, two platys, a female betta, 4 ghost shrimp and about 500 teeny tiny baby malaysian trumpet snails.
One potted plant. put in a new filter today.
The other new thing is TetraMin Tropical Crisps. Or maybe it is the freeze-dried bloodworms….
any thoughts on what could be causing the cloudy water?

Aquairum Lighting Question?
Hey I have a 10 gal that I’m raising feeder guppies, snails, and cherry shrimp in. I have live hornwart (freshwater plant) growing really good and have plenty of hiding areas in it for babies to hide in. I have some algae but not enough that my shrimp and snails can’t keep under control. If I leave my lights on 24/7 will the guppies, snails, and shrimp grow faster? or will it actually hurt them? Also has anyone heard of “Snail milk”? Its a product I’ve seen on ebay and wonder if it really works or if it is just a scam. Please give me your advice and opinions. Thanks
